Washington July 13, 2023 Mitch McConnell and other leading Republicans have a spring in their step. Despite the summer heat. Rumours of a McConnell smile were doing the rounds.

Unfortunately, real progress has been slow. A spokesman for George W Bush said that there was still no sign of any Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Washington: August 8, 2022 The FBI sought to dampen speculation on its raid on Trump’s safe in Mar-a-Lago. It had been reported that a Federal Judge had initially refused to grant a search warrant. Apparently the Judge has told Justice Department lawyers that it was inconceivable that Trump would have kept policy memos.
